Kotch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I did you wrong, my heart went out to play
And in the game I lost you, what a price to pay!
I'm cryin', ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Mistakes I know I've made a few,
But I'm only human; you've made mistakes too!
I'm cryin', ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby I'm just about at the end of my rope.
But I can't stop tryin', I can't give up hope
'cause I feel someday I'll hold you near,
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here ooh I'm cryin'.
Ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
In Kotch's song "Ooo Baby Baby," the singer expresses deep regret for the mistakes he has made in his relationship. He acknowledges that he played with his partner's heart and "lost" her in a game. He recognizes the heavy price he has paid for this mistake as he is left heartbroken and crying. The repetition of the phrase "ooh baby baby" adds to the intensely emotional and sorrowful tone of the song.
In the second verse, the singer reminds his partner that they are both human and have made mistakes. He is pleading for forgiveness and trying to justify his actions as a simple imperfection of being human. Despite being at the end of his rope, he is unable to stop trying to win his partner back and hold onto the hope that one day she will return his love. The song ultimately serves as a powerful reflection on heartbreak and the depths of regret that come with losing a loved one.
